As a UX designer, I always thought coding tools were too technical or just… not for me. My engineer and startup friends are all vibe coding and launching things left and right, while I stayed in my Figma bubble. Then the team at Lovable reached out — and I decided to give no code a real try. It completely changed how I see product building. In this video, I show you how I built my first MVP (minimum viable product) in under an hour with Lovable, and how it helped me shift my mindset about AI, ownership, and what’s possible for designers today ✨
